Reaction Steps

To 2-ethylsulfinyl-3-hydroxymethyl chromen-4-one (5 g, 19.8 mmol) dissolved in dichloromethane (20 mL) in a 25 mL round bottom flask is added dihydropyran (29.7 mmol) and toluenesulfonic acid (0.99 mol). The reaction mixture is stirred for 3 hours after which it is poured into a separatory funnel and water is added. Ethyl acetate is then added and the layers are separated. The organic layer is washed with water (3×10) and brine and dried over sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate is concentrated in vacuo and the residue obtained is purified by silica gel flash chromatography (ethyl ether: hexanes) to yield the above product.
